Default UAS Suspension Questions

I'm new to all of this and it's a lot different coming from Hondas and I don't want to go static on my 3GS and I just had a lot of questions.. Seems like a lot of guys on here are running Air Runner set ups on their 3GSes but that's way to expensive for my budget right now.

I'm looking into getting a UAS set up but I've heard a lot of different things from cutting the strut to being able to get an adapter from them to make it work on my car. If anyone can help me out on the things I would need to make it work on my car your input would be appreciated. I hate to be that guy that looks like he hasn't been searching but I've been looking into it for awhile and I still can't find all the answers I need and UAS hasn't responded to my emails.. Maybe I'll have to give them a call.

And any of you guys know reliable shops up here in the bay area? I'm from Fairfield specifically and even a shop near Sacramento would work too. Thanks a lot guys any thing helps!

Where'd you get that idea from? Most of the people here aren't on air runner.... There's only a few.

Some of us use air runner, some of us use UAS, and MOST of us use airrex/ksport/etc (premade).

I'd go Airrex if I were you though, just more easier that way.

I use UAS+BCR, they're literally both the same price at the end of the day (UAS=1200+BCR[1000]). Airrex=2100-2300 (I forgot the actual price, ask swtjlsy to hook you up).

Just remember, these things aren't cheap for a reason..... Airrunner's what.... $5k? So is Bags+Accuair. You just get more with accuair

bigl93 is from california. Im sure he meant it as a general statement. I know a lot of lexus owners in California, Hawaii, Nevada and Texas running air runner setups. Not all lexus owners are on here.

bigl93 I will pm you some shops and guys that should be able to help you out.

Im on BC+UAS btw. At first it rides like crap because i couldnt find the right blend for my ride height and stiffness. But i played with it a lot and now it rides like champ. No problem at all.

The modification u need is for the rear, cut and reweld for the bracket to fit in. Thats it. Also dont forget to buy the extenders because after the bracket installation, it will be harder for u to set your setting.

Did you guys running UAS with Megan need to get your struts modified or were you able to just swap out the springs for the bags and everything fit up properly?

No matter what coils u go with if the bag don't sit on the bottom like the stock suspension then needs to b modified, otherwise the bag will rub!

could you run UAS with stock suspension set up or would coilovers be needed?
